November 18 Jesse Mullineaux :- Captain Baxter may have been in the long boat, but I think he did not command us who were on the shore on the 2d of August 1778. Thomas's attempt was made just at day break. We had heard of his intention of coming and were in our guard, and commenced firing before he left the main land (with 26. [page break] 29. PARTS our long pieces). [Duck guns proba- -bly.] (The boat then commenced firing her swivels &c) You can fire across the water to the main in many places. The two flat boats held each about thirty, and the whale boats (which was very long) about 25 men. Most of the inhabitants of [City] Island were old residents, but some Refugees came from above and staid there. - The Barnes's lived there, but not the Lynches. After the agreement between the Refugees and the guard ship men we were seldom disturbed. [The inhabitants of [City] Island were royalists undoubtedly to a man. - J. M. M. ]
